My SIL got a TOKER POKER beaker bong with flowers. Great pricing! We had an issue with trying to get an estimate and our appts made . We *thought* we had an appt at 5 PM for 2 tattoos, BUT the worker we were texting was not working and no one knew about our appt . This was frustrating, BUT I'm glad we stayed and got our tattoos because John is PRETTY FABULOUS with his lines!

​From the moment I walked into Authentic Tattoo Company, I was met with a warm greeting and a…read moregenuine smile, which immediately set a great tone for the session. I was back to work with Jason Dugan to finally finish up my back piece, and once again, he managed to completely exceed my expectations. I went in with one idea of how the tattoo was going to come out, but after giving Jason some general guidelines, he expanded on the concept to make it even better than I could have hoped for. ​The final result is truly breathtaking, and looking at the finished photos, the level of imagery and color depth is just astounding. The entire piece flows seamlessly, anchored in the center by that incredible Tree of Life design where the spine itself transforms into the trunk. The vertebral segments are defined perfectly, emerging from fiery, saturated red roots and branching out into that massive, vibrant green canopy spreading across my shoulders. On the left side, the female Harlequin face is hyper-detailed, her mask and complex neck ruff filled with deep, rich violets and crimsons that absolutely pop. The smaller, mischievous puppet she is holding balances perfectly with the figure on the right: the skeleton knight in full blue plate armor. Jason expertly detailed the armored suit, making the steel-blue plating and the bold red cross on the chest plate look distinct, balancing the 'carnival' vibe on one side with the 'martial/undead' vibe on the other. Every element is distinct, yet integrated perfectly. ​Jason took technical elements into practice that I never even considered, such as which specific colors would hold best with my skin tone and how the shading needed to be executed so the entire piece flowed seamlessly with my other tattoos. Despite the difficulty and complexity of the work, Jason was incredibly fast. When he gets in the zone, it is truly best to just let him "cook" without distractions because the results are phenomenal. ​What really impressed me was how much of this was done freehand. There wasn't a clear map on my back, yet Jason knew exactly where he was going. Because of that skill, he was able to contour the tattoo to move naturally with the muscles in my back, adding a whole other dimension to the art. Beyond the talent, Jason is a total professional. It never felt like he was trying to sell me on something or get more money out of me; he genuinely cared about the piece and wanted to make sure I loved it. That kind of authenticity is rare and shows he's not just trying to get paid and get you out the door. ​The shop environment made the long hours much easier to handle. Artists Delaney, Austin, and Nik were also in that day, and when the pain was becoming difficult to ignore, they were all there to help with distractions and great conversation between working with their own clients. Pro tip: don't even try to test Austin on his Magic: The Gathering knowledge--that man seriously knows his shit and it made for some great shop talk. ​As always, the shop was very clean and well-maintained. If I had any critique at all, it's just that the space feels a little small. It has a very cozy feel to it, but I could see the artists wanting a bit more personal space to work in--though that might just be my observation. Overall, I am beyond happy with the finished piece and the experience. If you want an artist who actually gives a shit about the work, this is the place to go.

Always a great time whenever I schedule a session with Thom Crowder. The shop is always very clean…read moreand organized, and has great lighting. And literally every single person there is super nice. I am so happy that I decided to walk in when I did about five years ago, and that Thom was available. We connect very well and always end up talking for most of the appointment about history, music and life. He double checks everything before we get started, and asks how I'm feeling throughout. He is one of the most rad dudes I have ever had the honor of knowing and I love his style. Thom has always taken such great care of me and anyone else that I have brought to him. I could not ask for a better, more caring, and highly skilled artist. I can't wait to book many more appointments. Thanks Thom! You're seriously so awesome!

I had my very first tattoo experience at Good Boy Tattoos and it was absolutely amazing. Andy was…read moreincredibly patient, kind, and professional from start to finish. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. As an older woman getting my first tattoo, I was nervous walking in, but Andy made me feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. He also had wonderful artistic suggestions that made my tattoo even better than I imagined. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and relaxing, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I'm so grateful for such a positive first tattoo experience and would highly recommend Good Boy Tattoos -- especially if you're feeling nervous or getting your first tattoo later in life!

without a doubt this artist does great work, unfortunately I wouldn't recommend going to him, he's…read morevery unprofessional and doesn't treat new clients well. I reached out early july asking for a tattoo and had to wait days for a response. After I got a response we agreed on a date and a price and that day I sent $100 for a deposit. The day I was supposed to get the tattoo I was on my way to the shop and less than 30 minutes before my appointment he reached out and cancelled on me. I was upset but didn't make a big deal of it because I also understand people make mistakes and have their own lives. I said it was ok but I I told him I would just like a refund of the $100 I sent and he told me they don't do refunds but he can honor my deposit for another day after about a couple weeks of waiting for him to reply we finally agreed on a new date. I show up at the time he tells me to be there and he's not there yet at that point I just didn't want this guy to tattoo me. very inconsiderate of peoples time and money so definitely would not choose this guy For a tattoo I'm now out $100 and still don't have the tattoo I wanted.

LOL. I have to just laugh at this. First, I wanna say, I know better than doing a walk in tattoo,…read more as I have many that are perfect after 30 years but I never did a walk-in for them. But, my son offered and of course, I'm gonna get tatted. How hard can a simple bumblebee? Beautiful atmosphere but that's about it. I requested a bumblebee on my neck, right behind my ear. Risky spot but I was feeling bold! Again, how friggin hard is a bumblebee for a seasoned artist? LMAO!! Actually, LMAFO because this "bumblebee " looks like it has been ran over or hit my windshield! This jackass charged my son a 150.00 for this! Needless to say, I paid my son back! Since I'm not exactly sure who the asshole was that tattooed me (mistake 2). I'll be fair.... He is the person at the very first chair on the right side of the shop. It looked as if the other artists were actually putting out quality work and like a dummy, I just went with that adrenaline that you get to get a new tattoo! . I would actually stay clear of the "artist" in chair 1 on the right! LOL! You're gonna get something like this.... No doubt. My children in preschool drew better and colored their shit better than this "artist" (I mean artist in a very sarcastic way). If you choose to do a walk in, anywhere actually, be prepared for this type of outcome. Good and talented artists won't do walk-ins. They take pride in their abilities and want people to recognize great work. A great tattoo artist would NEVER EVER stamp their name to a horror like the one I'm posting! Do your homework, be patient, a good tattoo takes time. I definitely appreciate those that have put ink on me over the last 30 years! Some better than others, but NONE like this crap! I'm still kinda of laughing because, shame on me! I have to rate something but it's a hesitant "1".

I came to this shop on the recommendation of a friend who got some excellent work done by Nichole…read moreat this shop. I had an idea for a tattoo that represents my mom and decided that I should try her out, tell her my ideas, and see if I could book a future appointment. I went on Wednesday and asked for Nichole. It was her day off so I talked to the other artist (and I believe shop owner) Nelson. We talked about my idea for the tattoo, and how I was still thinking about placement. I have over 50 hours of work that's covered easily by clothes. I was thinking about placing it in a place that would be hard to cover and he said that he didn't think that was a good idea. We talked about placement ideas in regards to my other tattoos, and my ideas for future work in general. After talking to him for about 30 minutes and looking over his work I was completely sold. This guy is as legit as they come! He had an appointment available later in the day, and I was open so we decided there was no time like the present for a new piece of artwork. When I arrived at 3pm everything was set up and ready to go. 70s rock was playing (of course) and before starting he made it a point to go through each piece of equipment to show his sanitation standards. He is one of the cleanest artists I've ever been to. We went straight to work after that. He outlined with a 5 needle. The smallest needle I've ever had used on me. I'm not an outline girl so it was unpleasant, but it made beautiful, sharp, fine lines. He made me feel 1000% comfortable the whole time. The whole thing took 40-45 minutes. One of my fastest and most detail oriented tattoos! Nelson really makes you feel like he cares about you and his work the whole time! I'm very very happy with my experience there and will ABSOLUTELY go to Nelson again!
